Well, damage can spur a new revival of interest in perfecting something you thought you were over and done with. His right arm came loose and took a fall to the floor, snapping off 4 out of 5 fingers. Decided to resculpt those, as I couldn't find the finger pieces - probably hiding under my rack, so impossible to get to.
Dug holes into the sculpey and pried curled wire down into the holes and have begun securing them and I'll probably try and bake them firm before sculpting the new fingers. Figured I would lengthen the thumb as well, as it was too short.
For the main figure, I'm going to drill some grooves under the shoes, so it'll stick better with the new sculpey I'm gonna apply there to lengthen the foot part of the boots, as they are too short and then sculpt it out into a base, so the two will be merged and unremovable.
It is not going to be a representation of the man himself, but rather end up looking like a statue made of him, so the mistakes and damage will be part of the new look of a bronze statue kind of thing that's been standing out in the weather for a spell.
I really hope to have an update of this soon and the plaque with the gun I made will fit this idea nicely to be put on the base.
Finally I'm seeing some way to finish it and eventually have it displayed.
The repair work is taking shape. Am a little over 3 hours into the fixing of the hand... and I can tell you... twisting wire into tiny sockets and add sculpey to make them stick is **** right tough and frustrating all the same.
